    OK let's get this straight, half of them believe that we should intervene in other countries. They want us to. 7 out of 10 beleive we're being bullies.

    So they want us to intervene, but when we do we're bullies. Typical Canadians :rolleyes:

    They and a lot of other countries, but isn't intervening- by definition- bullying someone? Are we supposed to send nice chocolates to Saddam Hussein and hope that with enough warm and sincere Hallmark cards North Korea will stop selling weapons to everyone?

    I don't want the US to bully anyone, but I think there are times when we have to. We either seal our borders and give up on foreign policy, or we bully. It shouldn't be our first resort, I dislike the idea of nation building and I don't think we have the right to tell other countries how to run their affairs because it suits us better/makes us more money. I don't think, however, that not bullying anyone will get results. So, we have to bully.

    And, of course, no one ever complains when we bully Isreal to get them back to the peace table, so everyone needs to relax on the "look at the US go crazy and start wars" bit. If starting wars keeps us all (including Canada) safer, isn't it worth it? After all, they want us to intervene when security is on the line. They said it themselves.

    I thought this was a thread on Canadian bilingualism.
